head that same scowl of sad thought.
As he stepped down from the porch, a
voice, clear-cut, hard, metallic IS his own,
when he chose it to DO so, fell upon his ear.
''Mr Fairfax, l believe"
The man looked up, startled.
Not ten feet from HIM sat Lydia, look Of

Her voice was commanding, and the
words fell from her lips like clean, crisp,
sharply-cut coins.
Fairfax saw there was nothing else to do
but obey. With eyes fastened upon the
ground, with laggard steps and silent IA
the grave, he slowly took his seal by Lydia'a
side.
He knew he was taken wholly at dtsad'
vantage; beside he had by no means recov-
cred from the shock of the last scene with
Natalie. He seemed to have lost control
over his wits; to be utterly powerless 70

Lydia sat in her village-cart, cool, calm
and collected, with the reins in one hand
and the whip in the other, the ideal picture
of woman who has the entire advantage
on her side and feels it, too.
The door opened. A man, with bowed
head and hands folded behind him, came
out.
The gardener still stood by the door, The
gentleman did not seem 10 notice him.
Even the imperturbable Lydia could not re-

conner The Fairfax whom she remembered
wore a full beard and mustache. This
mans face was as smooth as boys. If he
were Arthur Fairfax, his entire expression
had changed. His dearest friend would
never have known him. No wonder Lydia
was doubtful.
She looked again. She could not be mis-

She continued for some time in this Bit

Meanwhile Fairfax was fast regaining
his old-time composure.
There was something about this strange
man that was irresistible. Even his silence
was often more effective than the words
of others. Lydia became conscious Of this
powerful influence of his over her.
1t was the old story Of the subtle strength
of will which silently forces one person u

succeeds in feeling her growing weakness

Blanche, wondering who was tho owner
Of this strong but commanding voice, went
into the kitchen to prepare lunch. A note
soon came to her from Fairfax, bidding her
be in readiness to depart tat a moments

Lydia Broadacres, hereafter, would assume
tho management Of affairs.

Slight as 1t was, the act sent tho blood
tingling through Natalie's veins. No man
had ever taken, or ever dared to take,
even that respectful and gallant liberty
with her person.
While Fairfax had been talking with her,
his face lost its expression of shame and,
gradually, assumed look of dignity with
which was intermingled that refined, sor-
rowful look that had attracted her atten-
ton, when she first saw him-a weary, yet
calm resignation TO fate; a sublime endur-
ance. His franhness and every thing about
him was, for the nonce, at least all spon-
tanetY itself, and, therefore doubly effect
i've.
The girl could not but listen and look. AS
he proceeded, her anger began to grow cool
and her hasty resolves to melt. She felt,
yelling up in her breast, tho strong love for
this man that, unknown to herself, he'd
been silently but rapidly growing up within
her.
When he released her hand, and with a
low bow and barely audible, "Addior'

enough to run after him or to call him back,
had not sharp ring from the door-bell pre-
vented her putting the wish into execution.
Speedily retreating up the stairway, she
told Blanche to say to the visitor that Miss
Rochefort was unwell and begged to be ex-
cused.

Glen Gore-where Lydia intended first
calling-and Eld-Field were adjoining, and
she made the very common mistake of talk

the grounds of the latter just at the deaoue-
neat Of the scene between Natalie and Fair

When shedrove up before the door the gar
dener was taking up some Of tho summer
plants, near by. She asked him to ring the
bell. He did so, and thereby altered the

THE coroner's jury of Philadelphia which
considered several deaths arising from the use
of buns colored with chrome yellow contented
itself with reprimanding the baker who was
the chief offender, believing that he was suf-
fciently punished by the loss of two or three
of his own children from the same cause. The
investigation showed that the recipe which
included chrome yellow as an Ingredient of
various bakers connections had been sold to
nearly all the bakers in the city and that some
had used it for twenty years. These were
probably more careful in portioning out the
drug than were the men whose cakes are
known to have killed eleven people within
few months, but many deaths must have been
occasioned by it in twenty years that were
ascribed to other causes.

Is THE PRESIDENT A MARrYR7

The President of the United States assumes
that he embodies the dignity of our government;
that he personifes an official title, which he
has right to use as scape-goat to bear off
the sins of his administration. He could not
make greater mistake than to suppose that
any Office in our form of government guaran-
tees that the one who fills it shall be exempt
be arraigned before the tribunal of public
sentiment and have his acts spoken of as they
are estimated by the people. President
Cleveland's mistake is that he claims to be
the presidency, instead of the President
the Office not the officer. The microscope
makes objects unseen by the naked
eye, yet it neither changes their nature nor
increases their size They are only magnifed,
and cannot be seen after the magnifer is re-
moved. The Office only magniies the size of
the officer, when looked at through the Office
he fills. It does not increase his size
change his character. He is not seen through
a magnifer after his term of Office expires.
If he has grown in public esteem and honor
no title to endear him to the people. Every
man is estimated by his own merits, not by
the position he fills by the suffrage of the
people. It will, therefore, be very hard to
convince the people that the highest Office
known to our government has been insulted
because Mr.. Cleveland was notified that there
are enough brave men who fought the battles
of the Union to review the Grand Army,
without calling on man who hired a substi-
tute to brave danger for him; without de-
handing of the G.. A. r. that its annual
greeting should be used as a means of pro-
noting the political prospects of man who
had determined to surrender the flags under
which death was sent into their ranks, and to
capture which they marched over the dead
and dying; who has seemed to delight
in using such language in his messages veto
ing pension bills as compelled them to believe
that these were acts that gratifed, instead Of
notifying his feelings. The imputation that
the G.. A. r. has certain members that were
disposed to Go injustice to the honor of the
Nation is an outrageous injustice to these
brave men. The President supposed that by
fattering one part of them and censuring the
other he would divide the organization. He
might as well try to erase FROM the hearts of
the old soldiers the love of their country.
They would make no difference between meet
ing in Missouri and in Massachusetts, They
fought for a whole country, and have adopted
that ever living sentiment of Robert G. Win
throp: t'Our country, whether bounded by the
st. Johns and the Sabine, or however other
wise bounded or described, and be the meas
urement more or less-still our country; to be |
cherished in all our hearts, to be defended by |
all our hands" It is to be hoped the Presi- |
dent will not attempt to make martyr of |
himself because the G. A. r. does not care to |
take any interest in his boom for second |

HENRY GEORGE, having become profess
sional politician, looks at everything from a
political standpoint. He says DR.. McGlynn's
accommodation twill be worth thousands
of votes to the United Labor party next fall.
He thinks McGlynn's friends, even those who
have hitherto voted with the old parties, will
follow him in body to the polls, and vindi-
cate him by this means, since he cannot get
religious vxndication. This assumes that Nc
Glynn has a numerous and enthusiastic fol-
lowing who are lying awake nights for
chance to vindicate him. But George will
doubtless find himself mistaken. Demagogues
always greatly overestimate their Importance
and personal following.
